The material also consists of various other elements which act as so-called alloying agents.\u00a0Their main function is to give the steel plate the desired properties, such as strength and hardness. Five of the elements in the steel we use help ensure that the steel does not rust in the same way as non-alloy iron. The most important of these elements is chrome. Although a worktop made of stainless steel is cold and hard, it is pure and unadulterated nature.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;30445&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row first_background_type=&#8221;gradient&#8221; first_background_gradient=&#8221;rgba(0,57,158,0.69)||#587d9b||0;100||84||linear&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1534410451584{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Product features<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10166&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Compare products<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;29717&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1534410410938{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Thicknesses<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]DFI-Geisler steel worktops are made of 1.2 mm stainless steel. The steel is bonded to a strong chipboard, with a total thickness of between 15 mm and 60 mm.<br \/>\nWe also supply worktops in 5 or 8mm flat steel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u2022 5 mm flat steel<\/strong><strong>\u2022 8 mm flat steel\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2022 15 mm\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2022 20 mm\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u2022 30 mm\u00a0<\/strong>\n<p><strong>\u2022 40 mm\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 60 mm\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Daily use<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It is no coincidence that celebrity chefs and most professional kitchens use stainless steel work surfaces. Steel is incredibly hygienic and extremely easy to keep clean \u2013 even when it gets hectic in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>To clean the surface, use a soft cloth wrung out in warm water, and always finish by wiping the surface with a dry cloth. This will prevent unwanted limescale deposits.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to give steel worktops a thorough clean is to use soap flakes. In addition to removing stubborn stains, it will saturate the surface and make it more resistant to dirt.<\/p>\n<p>Steel work surfaces and hot saucepans are not a good mix. Although it may be difficult to believe, stainless steel discolours if you leave hot objects on the surface. Steel also expands when heated and this may cause the steel to detach from the underlying chipboard. In short: Always use a trivet or table mats.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Design details<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Steel is the undisputed favourite of many kitchen architects. And with good reason. Due to its neutral surface, stainless steel can be combined with any other type of material \u2013 whether you want to give the steel the lead role or allow it to play second fiddle in your kitchen design.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1534410467435{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Colours and textures<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you choose a steel worktop, you need to decide whether it should be \u2018brushed\u2019 or \u2018curled\u2019. The properties are the same, so it is merely a question of taste \u2013 a uniform polish with a stylish look, or curled steel for a raw and more patinated look.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;SEE OUR RANGE OF STEEL WORKTOPS&#8221; color=&#8221;success&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dfi-geisler.com%2Fstaal-sortiment%2F|target:_blank&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9039&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1534410460189{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Sinks<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9041&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1535545679743{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;SEE OUR BROAD SELECTION OF SINKS&#8221; color=&#8221;success&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dfi-geisler.com%2Fvaske-katalog%2F|target:_blank&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Fitting the sink<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]DFI-Geisler steel worktops are always delivered with a steel sink welded into the surface.\u00a0The weld is subsequently polished flat so that the steel worktop and the sink give the appearance of a single, clean and hygienic unit.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8841&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_border&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Welded-in sink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1534425122723{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row first_background_type=&#8221;gradient&#8221; first_background_gradient=&#8221;#83bae3||#a672c9||0;100||180||linear&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=&#8221;182&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Steel [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] A great choice\u00a0if you want a super-hygienic, highly practical and eternally modern worktop, which gets more beautiful<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":717,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9033","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/717"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9033"}],"version-history":[{"count":52,"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36151,"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9033\/revisions\/36151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dfi-geisler.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
